Adelaide

We went to Adelaide for a holiday, my wife for a conference there so I was the handbag and the babysitter!
We stayed at the Hilton (old hotel nice staff), dinner at the Brasserie made famous by the TV chef-Simon Bryant who is the executive chef there. Great food and drank some Rockfords Rod & Spur (glorious) with our great pals John & Sneha and Iman.

During the days we were pretty free so went to the zoo (no culinary adventures there!) and then took off to the Adelaide hills to a beautiful village called Hahndorf. As the name suggested, it was ALL German! Street signs, shops and the people were proud of sticking to their ethnic heritage. Things to do there - first up it was the Kids Farm where there was really quite an instructional school flavor to the way the staff here really wanted to teach the kids about animals etc, really loved it. Helped we were the only ones there apart from a large school excursion there. The Hahndorf Inn is the place for German food and beer and is a beautiful heritage building. It even has a separate play room for kids with toys ! I had a massive German grill and bratwurst and mash for my daughter. I sampled a German beer which didn't really distinguish itself to me other than it was German. After that it was to the Beerenberg Farm to pick strawberries (only in Summer and finishes in May) the strawberries were absolutely awesome and sweet and we ate them by the handful. Recommend that for anyone who goes to Adelaide.
After that a walk through the quaint village, have to be honest, the locals in some of the bakeries weren't all that friendly but the people in the state information centre were really nice.
